# Puissance de Clojure I would like to thank [Stephano Zacchiroli][zack] and [Sylvestre Ledru][Sylvestre] for inviting me to talk about the [Power of Clojure][puissance] yesterday at [IRILL][irill]. IRILL IRILL is an unique organization comprised of computer science researchers from several leading European universitities and organizations collaborating to create a vibrant FLOSS ecosystem. It was an honor to present my view of how [Clojure][clojure] combines the advantages of Common Lisp and Java without the disadvantages of either. This was a tough crowd, experienced in functional programming and very critical of dynamic typing... There were many good questions and we had an active discussion. I combined talking points with live hacking while presenting from within Emacs :) You can download my "presentation" here: * as PDF: [[puissance-de-clojure.pdf|puissance-de-clojure.pdf]] * full source ([org-tree-slide][org-tree-slide]): [[irill-26-juin-2012.tar.gz|irill-26-juin-2012.tar.gz]] Grazie Mille et Merci!
